Censorship well underway at Threads already

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) chief Mark Zuckerberg promised users that his new platform, “Threads,” would provide a superior experience compared to Twitter. He envisioned a public conversations app with over one billion users, surpassing what Twitter had achieved.

However, mere hours after its launch, Threads was caught secretly censoring users without granting them the right to appeal, as revealed in a Substack piece by Public’s Michael Shellenberger.

Conservative commentator Derek Utley took to Twitter to express his frustration, stating, “@Meta/IG just released their new threads platform, and I’ve been informed by multiple users that I’m censored on their new platform. Sheesh, can’t a dude catch a break?”
